-Kylesa, Static Tensions: Glad that I had a proper home-stereo sit-down with this one. I knew I’d basically love it when I heard the band’s two drummers converging on me from different sides of the room.

-Paranormal Activity: Wow, that demon attack couldn’t have happened to a more tedious couple! Actually, it is very creepy.

-Paul F. Tompkins, Freak Wharf: I was there for one of the CD-recording shows, so I’m disappointed that it leaves out this one great bit (about New Yorkers who go out of town, only to constantly brag about what they could be doing back in “NEW YAAAWK!”). Still, almost as awesome as being there.

-The Wire, ongoing. First time I’ve ever heard the phrase “Throw a fuck into her.” Sounds festive, no? Is that some kind of Baltimore thing?
